Make no mistake, Shea Weber is the heart and soul of the Predators franchise, period. Not even goaltender Pekka Rinne -- who ranks a close second -- can match the value that Weber brings to the table. Offensive ability, defense, tenacity, leadership -- you name it, Weber supplies it all. Last season, Weber led the Preds in scoring for the second straight season, finishing with a career-high 56 points (23 goals and 33 assists) in 79 games. And although he has never won, Weber is a perennial candidate for the Norris Trophy after finishing third in the voting in 2014, and second in both 2012 and 2011. The 28-year-old is one of the elite defensemen in the NHL and should considered one of the top-five fantasy-relevant blueliners come draft day. In addition, given the offensive upgrades the Preds made this offseason -- trading for James Neal and adding free agents Mike Ribeiro, Olli Jokinen and Derek Roy -- Weber now has a significantly improved supporting cast. As such, you could see his point totals improve even further this season -- a 60-70 point season is now entirely within his reach. Draft with confidence. (Updated 8/13/14)
